Carol Kirkwood left worried fans fearing for her safety when she informed them about the most recent development in the UK weather forecast. The 56-year-old let her 149,000 Twitter followers know a “weather bomb” would hit the nation today, as she cautioned them about blustery winds. Her post read: “This highlights how windy it will be tomorrow. Pressure drops by 24mb in 24 hours in a ‘weather bomb’ or ‘explosive cyclogenesis’ event. “The low pressure coming our way tonight/tomorrow is dropping 40mb in 24 hours!”
The BBC Breakfast presenter’s statement startled some of her fans, with a few urging the weather reporter to stay safe.
One person tweeted: “Keep safe, Carol,” while another asked: “Wow Carol! Will it be worse than last night in London? The wind was howling!”
A third fan wrote: “This sounds a bit scary what are we looking at?” as a fourth joked: “I better move me bin then!”
It comes after the radio presenter was left red-faced following a conversation with her BBC co-star Naga Munchetty.
Launching into one of her first weather reports of the day on February 7, Carol warned viewers the rest of the week would see a lot more gusts of wind.
